I found a new form of torture today.

I went to get my labs done. When I first got there the lab was closed for lunch, which had never happened before. They also had a new kiosk to sign in which was also new. Turns out the hospital has contracted out lab services. I used to go to that lab company in the city (someone even recognized me) but have gone to the hospital for at least a year.

I left for lunch hour and came back at opening time. Except they never came out to open up. They left the sign on the kiosk that said closed for lunch. I really would have been fine waiting but they were showing an orange man rally on the big screen tv and I couldn't handle it. I was joined by someone equally antsy but I didn't want to make a negative comment on the chosen tv show since a large majority here are for the man. I popped a Seroquel it got so bad. I finally just took the sign off the kiosk and we both signed in and when they let us in I was as polite as I could be but made it clear the 15 minute wait wasn't appreciated. I should have said that it was because they had TORTURED me for that time but figured that was a big over-dramatic. It was however not far from true and I've been hearing him over and over in my head since I left 7 hours ago. I now know the worst head noise ever.


The guy who waited with me was done first because there were issues with my paperwork and on his way out he apologized to his tech for something with a happy "I'm bipolar!". So if you are Caleb and were tortured by a lab company today, "Hi!".
